That Crazy Anti-Smoking Beatnik Thing

Village bar be a star Bring your bongo bring your hat being a beat is where it's at

Things have changed all rearranged No longer free to be the you the me they were

Smoking was hot casual, cool filtered or not inhale it deep it hit the spot brought attention your way won't you play with the rest hep cat?

Now the government is in the sack and the cough and the hack your clothes straight from the rack too poor to pay for your cigarette today?

Will it make you less what a mess cramp your style your finesse can you guess what they say about you now you're away from the crowd?

Breathe the air sister fair smoky clothes smoky hair hang with me don't you dare light it up

If you quit lose the fit that kept you sick burned the wick of your life a little faster

Look around up and down on the street on the town in your home lost and found no one missed it

Give it up let it go no one likes the smoke you blow in their faces, in their eyes won't you please compromise? Chew some gum!

So hear me bloke don't you smoke lest you gasp lest you choke while the taxes make you broke for the habit that you toke Is it worth it?
